Importance Of The Jummah Friday Prayer

Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan delves into the importance of the blessed Jummah prayer.

Surah Al  Jumu'ah is the best place to learn the spirit, the wisdom, guidance about the Friday prayer itself. There is one Ayah in the Surah that summarizes the mission of Allah’s Messenger ﷺ and the second Ayah of the Surah is where Allah SWT basically takes the entire mission of the Messenger ﷺ and summarizes it.

What is the purpose of this weekly gathering for the Jummah prayer? What do we wish to do? The big gathering of every week in Jum'ah is the installation of faith in Allah so that we get refreshed with our relationship with the Qur'an. We should cultivate a sense of responsibility that we are supposed to be in appreciation of the Quran. We should strive to get our sins forgiven and to be able to make sincere 'tawbah' to Allah. We should seek to appreciate our time on this earth and not waste it away with things that have no benefit here and no benefit in the next life. We should also indulge in the love of useful activities, useful times spent within the worship of Allah or in learning beneficial things and in sharing beneficial things with one another and making ourselves better people for His sake.

Listen intently to fathom the explanation.
